BIM & Preconstruction Support for Petro-chemical & Process Facilities
Optimar Precon supports defined refinery, chemical-plant and process-facility packages with BIM, piping coordination, P&ID documentation, CAD drafting, estimating, quantity takeoffs and technical production support.
Coordinate Piping, Equipment & Structural Interfaces Before Construction
Petro-chemical facilities can contain dense piping networks, process equipment, pipe racks, structural systems and supporting building services. Our teams develop and coordinate the assigned BIM and drawing information from the current project sources.
Preconstruction Support for Defined Petro-chemical Packages
Assign one technical production service or combine several disciplines around a defined refinery, chemical-plant or process-facility package.
Petro-chemical BIM Services
Develop coordinated BIM for defined refinery, chemical-processing and process-facility packages.
Piping BIM & Coordination
Model and coordinate supplied piping routes with equipment, structure and adjacent systems.
P&ID Documentation
Prepare or update P&ID drawings from supplied project information, drawings and markups.
Structural & Pipe Rack BIM
Develop structural BIM for defined pipe racks, support structures and plant packages.
GA & Equipment Drawings
Prepare general arrangement and equipment-layout drawings from supplied project information.
Scan to BIM
Develop documented existing-condition geometry from supplied point-cloud and survey information.
Review Physical Interfaces Across Plant Systems
Multidisciplinary BIM helps project teams review physical interfaces between piping, equipment, structural systems, pipe racks and supporting services within the assigned package.
Review supplied piping routes against framing, pipe racks, supports and available openings.
Review modeled piping against supplied equipment layouts and connection areas.
Coordinate routed systems with assigned structural pipe-rack information.
Review supplied equipment positions with surrounding structure and routed systems.
Coordinate applicable building services within defined plant-support areas.
Review proposed packages against documented existing plant conditions.
Support New Work Within Existing Process Facilities
For expansion, upgrade and turnaround-linked capital packages, our teams can use available drawings, BIM models, surveys and point-cloud information to support coordination between documented existing conditions and proposed project work.

A Structured Workflow for Petro-chemical BIM & Preconstruction
Petro-chemical packages can involve piping, equipment, pipe racks, structural systems and multiple revisions across project disciplines. Our workflow keeps the assigned technical production package aligned with the current project information from review through delivery.
Review Inputs
Review drawings, models, P&IDs, equipment information and project requirements.
Define the Package
Confirm the plant area, system, discipline and required outputs.
Develop Information
Produce the assigned BIM, CAD, P&ID or drawing package.
Coordinate Interfaces
Review piping, equipment, structure and supporting systems together.
Review & Deliver
Check revisions, coordination status and required final outputs.
Keep Production Aligned With the Current Process-Plant Package
Refinery and chemical-plant packages can move through equipment, piping, structural and documentation revisions. The assigned production work remains based on the current project information supplied by the responsible project team.
- Current P&IDs
- Current plant layouts
- Piping information
- Equipment layouts
- Current structural information
- Required deliverables
Common Coordination Checks Across Petro-chemical Packages
Bringing piping, equipment, structural and supporting-system information into a coordinated environment helps project teams review physical interfaces within the assigned package.
Review the Petro-chemical Package Before Issue
The assigned production package goes through checks for scope, current inputs, model organization, coordination status, revisions and required outputs.

Preconstruction Capacity for Petro-Chemical Project Teams
Add BIM, CAD, P&ID documentation, estimating, quantity takeoff and technical production resources to defined refinery, chemical-plant and process-facility packages as workloads change.
Support Defined Plant Packages Without Expanding Permanent Headcount
Process-facility projects can create parallel workloads across plant areas, piping packages, structural packages, drawing production and revisions. Optimar Precon can provide additional technical production support around the scope, information and deliverables established by the responsible project team.
Plant-Area Support
Assign a defined process area, structure, system or project package.
Package-Based Delivery
Structure support around specific BIM, CAD, piping or documentation outputs.
Revision Capacity
Add production support when project drawings, models or markups change.
Scalable Resources
Increase production capacity for defined project workload peaks.
Support Across Different Petro-Chemical Project Packages
Technical production support can be aligned with new facilities, plant expansions, brownfield modifications, tender packages or defined capital-project scopes.
New Plant Packages
Support defined new refinery, chemical or process-facility scope.
Plant Expansion Packages
Add production capacity for new equipment, piping or structural areas.
Brownfield Modification Packages
Support defined new-to-existing plant modification packages.

BIM, CAD, P&ID, estimating, takeoff or documentation.
Piping, structural, MEP or drafting production support.
One plant area, system, structure or modification package.
Ongoing production support across multiple assigned packages.
Optimar Precon provides BIM, CAD, P&ID documentation, coordination, estimating, quantity takeoff and technical production support from the information supplied for the assigned scope. Process engineering, process calculations, equipment selection, piping system design criteria, process safety engineering, hazardous-area classification, plant-operational decisions, regulatory approvals and professional sign-off remain with the responsible project team.
Need additional capacity for a Petro-Chemical project?
Add BIM, CAD, P&ID documentation, estimating or technical production resources where the project needs them.
